building your car
Cars must be built from the standard kit, which includes the pine block that can be shaped into the body of your car, along with axles and wheels. Cars must be within certain specifications, which will be separately communicated. If you need help or guidance building your car, or don’t have tools to do so, let David Easley, Jeff Gamblin or Brad Hatchett know if you need assistance cutting out the body of your car.

kit purchase, rsvp, and registration
In order to participate in the race, you must purchase a kit through Troop MS-1031. This ensures that all racers are using the same stock materials. To purchase a kit, click the CheddarUp link below. This link will also serve as an RSVP to the event so that we can get a headcount for food. You can purchase more than one car per Trailman, if you wish to have a test vehicle, but only one car per Trailman can be registered for the race.
